A right bicep strain placed Tyler Dorsey on the injury list of Olympiacos.
The 29-year-old guard has been ruled out of a meeting with Real Madrid in Movistar Arena on Tuesday evening. After two home wins, the Reds earned a 2-0 lead in a best-of-five series and need one more win to clinch a berth in the Final Four of the 2024-25 installment of the Turkish Airlines EuroLeague.
Projected to miss the next team practices due to a shoulder injury, Dorsey is likely to also sit out a potential Game 4 in the Spanish capital on Thursday. He was medically cleared but did not play in Games 1 and 2.
Over 20 appearances in the Regular Season, including two starts, he tallied 3.3 points, 1.0 assists, 1.0 rebounds, and 0.2 steals per contest.
Besides the former Oregon standout, all remaining players are healthy and available for head coach Giorgos Bartzokas.
Behind a 24-10 W-L tally, the storied Greek club ranked first in the Regular Season. Entering the Playoffs and clashing with Los Blancos, the next goal is punching in a ticket to the Final Four and joining the field of the season-ending tournament for a fourth year in a row. Losing in the Semifinals across the three most recent features, Olympiacos was limited to third- and fourth-place finishes in Berlin, Kaunas, and Belgrade.
The next championship-crowning tournament of Europe’s premier club continental competition will be held in Abu Dhabi’s Etihad Arena between May 23 and 25.
